The Zucker Family School of Education is one of the five schools comprising The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina. The school offers bachelor's and master's degrees in several Education specialties. It was established in 2002 as The Citadel reorganized its existing departments into the five schools.[1] The school is currently located in Capers Hall, but will move to Bond Hall after completion of a new building for the School of Business.[2]
